Castle and garden
Kanazawa Castle Park and Kenroku-en together form a large green area in the middle of the city. Their curving paths and ponds make a quiet centre in the map.

The map
About this Kanazawa map poster
Kanazawa lies on the Sea of Japan side of Honshu, between the Sai and Asano rivers, which run roughly parallel to the coast. The castle park and the Kenroku-en garden sit together on the high ground between them. From above, the old centre is a web of narrow, bending lanes, planned to confuse attackers and kept largely intact.
Kanazawa was not heavily bombed in the Second World War, so much of its Edo-period layout survives. The Higashi Chaya teahouse district lies across the Asano River, and the Nagamachi samurai quarter keeps its earthen walls and small canals. Kenroku-en is considered one of the three great landscape gardens of Japan, and the circular 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art stands nearby.
A Kanazawa map poster shows the contrast between the old lanes and the straighter roads added later. The two rivers frame the composition, and the castle and garden give it a large, calm centre. It suits people who value a city where the historic plan can still be read on the ground.

Two parallel rivers
The Sai and Asano rivers run on either side of the old town. They give the map two strong diagonal lines and mark the edges of the historic core.
Winding old lanes
The streets of the castle town bend and meet at odd angles. These irregular lanes are easy to spot on the map next to the straighter modern avenues.

Why Kanazawa
A map that means something
Kanazawa is a city people fall for on a single visit, and many return. A map of the rivers, the garden and the old lanes is a subtle reminder of the place without relying on a photograph.
